Did I ever know I was something else than a pushed for time mother ?
Seriously ! I'm watching a lot of cooking blog. And is there someone who can tell me how those women do ?

For example, I'm a fan of Pioneer Woman.
Thanks to her, I began to read american blog. I came on her blog by chance and I just loved her pictures and her cooking.
But please, someone, answer me ...
How can she do to cook such various things ?
How can she do to cook as often as she does ?
How can she do to have such a busy life, with a ranch, 4 children, a husband, pets, a blog and now, books, TV show, city tours... and, and, and ... while I'm totally overtaking by my daily life, sometimes !

SO, yes ! Sometimes, I'm just cooking my dear sweet friend "Yogurt cake" ! And I cry on my sofa.
Well, I don't cry as often as I use to write it.
Except when I listen sad songs.

Well, here my recipe for women as me : in brain dead !

1 yogurt (125 grammes)

3 eggs

3 yogurt pot of flour (375 grammes)

2 yogurt pot of white sugar (250
grammes)

1/2 yogurt pot of neutral oil (65
grammes)

10 grams of baking powder

1 tablespoon of vanilla extract.

And for chocolate topping :

200 grams of dark chocolate

100 grams of unsalted butter.

Your oven must be preheated at 240°C
(Th 9 / 464°F).

When you'll put the mixture in the
oven, reduce the heat at 180°C (Th 6 / 356°F).

Dear Axelle, Now I really want to just jump inside the computer and eat this cake...yum! And, what great presentation with the dark chocolate (drool) inside the cake and then covering the cake and sprinkles on top! This is my kind of cake. Yes, those of us who do not have help in the kitchen most appreciate your style of recipe and use of the yogurt container for amounts of ingredients (fewer dishes to wash). Thank you! love and prayers, jep

Dear Axelle-Don't criticize the yoghurt cakes! We love them in all of the various forms. And the green olive bread. I could eat that forever! They have been a hit at a few church fellowship meals. Whenever we take them. Yum yum yum. Regards-Jamie

p.s. The grape vines are not ours. We pick the grapes for someone else. The property is gorgeous and the family is nice. We have also been busy at an organic blueberry farm. It is new and they are busy laying out the new rows and plants. At least 20,000 plants. It's big. We have been doing this field work since June: starting with picking blueberries, now cutting grapes and setting up the new blueberry farm. With other people, of course. We will be finishing soon and getting back to our homeschooling. Who needs to work out in a gym? My husband is busy as headmaster at a small new classical christian school. Imagine how different our days are from his right now! : ) We have a few grape vines at home but just make juice for now. Our friend know how to make the homemade wine and we will ask him soon to show us. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Jamie, THANK YOU FOR DEFENDING YOGURT CAKE, I LOVE YOU !!! :DAnd I'm so glad to know you cook it often and that your church likes it too ! :) Oh, yes, I remember : you told me about your husband's job (sorry, Jamie, I really have a chicken brain). This is a very courageous way to end holidays, believe me !! And I love this idea to work in an organic farm and to help each others. It must create strong likns and I love this idea of Humans relationship. Congrats, Jamie to you and your family !
